Poll: Russian Roulette for $500 mil... Would you do it?

[Jark212]

Hell no, this no amount of money would compromise my strong will to live...

Does he simply spin it, and allow the cylinders to rotate freely? If yes, then I am on that Russian Roulette so hard.

People forget that gravity drags the heaviest cylinder to the bottom, changing the chances that you will die from 1/6 to closer to about 1/60 for a small caliber, 1/600 for a larger caliber.

Depends on the amount of bullets. 6, no thanks. 1, I'll deal under extraordinary circumstances.

 

[Berethond]

Wasn't the point of Russian Roulette that when it was originally played, the revolvers used would never fire the loaded bullet. I read somewhere that if only one bullet was loaded then it wouldn't be able to push it to the top and keep it there as when it reached 9 o'clock it would keep moving. Think that's probably BS tho...

I say yes, if I can look at the gun for ten seconds before hand.

No that is true. Gravity + centrifugal force ensure that in a well-maintained revolver ensure that the bullet will almost never remain in the top chamber.

 

[Om Nom Nom]

Under the condition that my direct family (parents & siblings) get a million each if I get unlucky.

 

[Anchupom]

I'd do it if I could rig it.

 

[Fooz]

i wouldnt want that much money, too much money ruins people, suppose you could give it to charity, but im not that nice

 

[DenSomKastade]

I don't think the money would make my life any better. Money doesn't equal happiness.

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

I can barely pull the trigger on an empty gun as it is, I could NEVER do it if the gun was filled with a bullet.

At least the good news is that my life is technically worth 3 000 000 000$. w00t?

 

[Random Fella]

how do you make a 5/6 chance of winning into 50%? : p your chance of surviving is conciderably higher than you dying.

Okay you really should think before you try to contradict me...
When playing russian roulette there is a 50/50 chance to go first, then their IS a 1/6 chance you will die on that shot, then the opponent has a 1/6 chance to fire the bullet also, this continues until finally the bullet is fired and your opposition has died. This means since chances of the opposition firing the bullet and you firing the bullet are equal, there is a 50/50 chance of being killed.

I think a lot of people think russian roulette is a game of 'If you fire the 6 round their is a 1/6 chance of dieng and if you don't you win' Yet it's actually a game of last man standing...

@Omikron009, Trivun

What I meant was that they take turns shooting at each other from a safe distance... I do know that blanks still have a certain force and assumed that you would see the logic behind the suggestion of using them. But wait, this is the internet, you have to spell it all out. ^^ So, sorry, my fault, I shouldn't have taken basic thinking as granted.

 

[thirion1850]

If you don't risk, you don't win. I'm game.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

If I were in a really bad situation, yes.
Such as being terminally ill.

Otherwise, no.

 

[aLivingPheonix]

Hell yeah! Assuming it's a good quality gun, the bullet will weigh the cylinder down, giving me a higher chance to survive. If not, my being ceases to exist, therefore I don't have to think about how fucking retarded I was to take the deal. It's a win-win situation!

 

[aPod]

500 million dollars, yes I would pull that trigger. I'd pull it twice.

 

[WhatHityou]

Nah getting shot in the face doesn't appeal to me, not to mention my luck isn't very high.

 

[Krokodille]

Id trust gravity, and gravity would most likely put the bullet in the lower chamber after he spins it, so yes; I'm game!

 

[Shiv595]

HELL YES! Then immediately buy the following:
Knight Conquest XV
Bugatti Veyron Fbg Par Hermes
Lambourghini Reventon
Alienware Laptop
Penthouse in London
My own club, bitches!

 

[Braonan]

I'd probably do it in either case.

 

[DanielBrown]

Live a miserable life and be poor, or die trying to get/perhaps get rich....
I would probably give it a shot(haha, get it?! SHOT! GAAAAHAHAHA).
